Situation
- 10” WI ”Unpiggable” Flowline
- 5 areas selected for inspection of corrosion/ erosion rate since previous inspection
- 4 mm Polyethylene and FBE coating
- Partially buried
Onshore Blind Testing
All 7 defects found with high degree of accuracy
Results
- All defects found with high accuracy
- No coating removal required
- Minimal dredging required, saving
- several days vessel time
- Inspection speed was 30% of allocated operator time
“ARTEMIS® provided data as good and faster as other methods I’ve used. This allowed us to reduce the amount of dredging which saved us a significant amount of time and money”

What is ARTEMIS®
ARTEMIS® is a subsea external pipeline and riser inspection system that inspects subsea pipelines and risers with measurement capabilities exceeding existing alternative technologies. It is deployed on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to inspect subsea pipelines to assess their internal condition. With its unique sensors design, it is able to perform a full circumferential scan in a fraction of the time needed by less-sophisticated technologies. Because there is no radioactive source, health and safety risks are significantly reduced.
